Police welcome prison sentence handed to dad who knocked out complete stranger

Police have welcomed the prison sentence handed to a thug who battered a man in a town centre attack. Daniel Gibson kicked, punched and stamped on his victim who ended up unconscious in Merrial Street, Newcastle-under-Lyme. The 36-year-old, of Dale Court, Middlewich, pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent. He was handed a four-year prison sentence - with a further two years on licence - when he was sentenced at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court. Following the case, Detective Constable Rose Smith, from Staffordshire Police, said: 'I hope this conviction shows that violence has no place on our streets and that we will take action against those who commit violent offences. We are committed to keeping people safe across Staffordshire.'

Ex-Coatue Trader's Long Bets on Tech Fuel 16.7% First-Half Gain

Sylebra Capital — the stock-picking hedge fund founded by former Coatue Management partner Daniel Gibson — gained 16.7% in the first half of this year, erasing a 7.8% first-quarter loss, according to people familiar with the matter. That was fueled by some of the firm's biggest holdings — renewable plastics company PureCycle Technologies Inc. and Aeva Technologies Inc., a maker of special sensors — which surged 98% and 440%, respectively, during the second quarter. Sylebra's long book gained 58% in the period, while its short portfolio slumped 30%, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing confidential details.

Military intelligence battalion sergeant major arrested for DUI and suspended

A senior enlisted leader at Hunter Army Airfield in Georgia has been temporarily removed from duty after being arrested last month for allegedly driving under the influence. Command Sgt. Maj. Daniel R. Gibson, of the 224th Military Intelligence Battalion, was arrested by the Chatham County Sheriff's Office on May 22, an Army spokesperson confirmed to Task & Purpose. Gibson has been suspended pending the outcome of his court case, said MyRon Young, a spokesman for U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command. Young deferred further questions to the Army Criminal Investigation Division and Chatham County Sheriff's Office. Task & Purpose has reached out to both organizations. News of Gibson's arrest had been shared on social media in recent days. Attempts by Task & Purpose to reach Gibson were unsuccessful. Originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Gibson joined the Army in January 2003. He served as a human resources specialist before becoming a geospatial intelligence imagery analyst in January 2006, according to his official biography. According to the biography, Gibson has deployed to Iraq and has been awarded the Combat Action Badge, though the page does not specify the time frame of deployments. Gibson has also completed the Basic Airborne Course and the U.S. Army Special Operations Command Language Program Manager Course, and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in applied management from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona. Gibson's military awards include a lengthy list of decorations fairly typical of a soldier of his rank and seniority, including the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, three Meritorious Service Medals, four Army Commendation Medals, and five Army Achievement Medals. His operational decorations and badges include the Iraqi Campaign Medal with three campaign stars, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal, Basic Parachutist Badge, Combat Action Badge, and the German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge in Gold. He is also an honorary member of the Sergeant Morales Club, which recognizes distinguished noncommissioned officers, and Gibson is a recipient of the Military Intelligence Corps Association Knowlton Award.
